Hi, I’m new here (or at least this is my first comment). I was reading the Sequences, but sometimes there are parts that I don’t understand very well. what do I do when that happens? I would feel very stupid if I were the only one in the comments of the Sequences asking what a certain paragraph in each article I don’t understand means. It occurred to me to leave the article for later so next time maybe it will be clearer for me, but I risk losing interest in the Sequences when I come back. Speaking of interest, how can I sustain it for long enough to finish the Sequences, because I’ve already made several attempts and haven’t gotten very far.
I think that is a flaw of comments, relative to ‘google docs’. Long documents without the referenced areas being tagged in comments, might make it hard to find other people asking the same question you did, even if someone wondered about the same section. (And the difficulty of ascertaining that quickly seems unfortunate.)
The Sequences are very long, but worth it. I would recommend reading the Highlights, and then reading more of the sections that spark your curiosity.
(I only found out about that today, and I’ve been lurking here for a little bit. Is there a way for the Highlights to be seen next to the Rationality: A—Z page?)
Aha! I was wondering how long those had been on the side of the page, unbeknownst to me! Thank you for that! I’ve already sent it to someone (who really liked the first few articles).

I think leaving comments about things you’re confused about is good practice.

We just curated and released the sequence highlights yesterday, so you were not missing anything. :)
Over the next few days we’ll be adding more nice-to-have features to help people find and read them.

How did you decide which posts to include?
